Hello,
I am sponsoring my wife to come to Canada. In form 5533e, page 5, #5, it asks for 'Employment/Source of Income'. My wife and I are living together in Russia, so we need to provide proof that we can support ourselves once we arrive in Canada. I couldn't find any templates for a letter like this, so I gave it a go myself. Please let me know what you think I need to add, or change.

Hello,
I am writing to state the financial plan my wife and I have, for our arrival in Canada.
At the time of writing this letter, we have a bank account, with ~$5000. Our goal is to save between 10,000-15,000 before we move to Canada. With how quickly we have raised this 5000, we are ahead of schedule.
We plan to rent an apartment, for somewhere between $1000-1500 per month, including utilities. With food, internet, phone bills and entertainment, we imagine another $1000 per month. This budget would give us roughly 4-6 months to find jobs within Canada.
We both plan to be working during this time however. (Wife) currently has a job working online with a Russian university, in their sales department. My job as an English teacher, and the relationships I have built with my students, will allow me to continue working with them while I am in Canada as well.
While these jobs will help us in the beginning, we both realize that the higher cost of living in Canada (and the difference in timezones) will mean it will be essential to find jobs in Canada, as soon as possible.
(Wife), having a university degree in economics, wishes to find a job in the banking industry. I will look for work, either in the hospitality industry, or in web design. However, because of the current uncertainties with the pandemic, we are aiming our expectations lower, and have planned for working 30-hour weeks, at minimum wage (14.25/hr). This would give each of us a monthly income of 1500, after taxes.
Thank you for your time
